Вчера открывали лыжный сезон. Соответственно сегодня не смогли делать ничего активного и спортивного. Просто гуляли и наслаждались осенним городом.

Кто сказал, что макароны, это не диетическая еда. Вполне даже, смотря для каких целей. Пример довольно полезной, вкусной и главное очень простой в приготовлении еды, богатой белками и сложными углеводами.
Documents
Before booking any trip, make sure you have your passport and it is not about to expire (more than 6 months). Otherwise, your surf trip will be limited to the drive to and from the airport. Do let this happen to you – Family Denied Entry Into Costa Rica for Short Passport Expiry
Vaccination
CDC recommends vaccinations against typhoid and hepatitis A, and malaria only on Caribbean coast. For Hepatitis-A you need 2 shots with a time difference of 6 months between them (Havrix vacine). After the first you are fine to go.
Costa Rica map with points of interest
Arrival to San-Jose in Juan Santamaria International Airport.
Telephone: +506.437.2400
The airport is 16km from San Jose.
There is an departure airport tax of US$27-29 for departing flights. This may be paid in advance at many hotels in San Jose, which can save some time at the airport. It is also possible to pay the tax online.
December – 31.12. South of Quepos/Dominical, Uvita in Big Bamboo de Uvita.
A radial tour from Uvita – Manuel Antonio park, said to be “the postcard view of Costa Rica”.
The entrance to the Chirripó National Park is just beyond the town of San Gerardo De Rivas. Driving to San Gerardo De Rivas takes around 30 minutes from San Isidro de El General. The final 6 km to San Gerardo is on gravel road with fairly steep inclines at parts and a 4×4 car was recommended.
From Uvita to San Isidro de El General is about 1 h and then 30 minutes to San Gerardo De Rivas. Thus I propose to start from Uvita in the early morning in order to be at the park gates before 10 AM. Then track to the Base Camp, sleep there and next day (December, 31st) climb to the top of Mt Chirripó. After go down and sleep closer to the park entrance in Hotel de Montaña El Pelicano.
1.01-2.01 – we are in Hotel de Montaña El Pelicano
For ones who would like to climb.
2.01-5.01– we are in Paraiso Orocay Lodge
5.01-9.01 we are at Lake Arenal and stay in Agua Inn Spa. The lake is approximately 30 km long and almost 5 km at its widest point, and it is the largest lake in Costa Rica. Activities: windsurfing, wakeboarding, fishing, kayaking, hiking, biking, bird watching, horseback riding, etc.
“Must visit places” Volcan Tenorio , hot springs,
Rincón de la Vieja National Park – seems to have decent volcanic activity, last erupted in 1998, has some fumaroles, boiling mud pits, hot springs, and somehow active volcanito (a little volcano) , Volcan Santa Maria, the highest peak at 6,385 feet (1916 m) no open lava expected though.
9.01-11.01 stay in Rinconcito Lodge.
11.01-13.01 Villa Casa Blanca at Coco Beach in Pacific Ocean.
13.01-17.01 Mamma Rosa Resort at Nosara Beach-Playa Guiones
Things to do in Nosara region
Refuge for Wildlife – is a place for the injured, displaced and orphaned wildlife from Nosara and the Nicoya Peninsula region of Costa Rica.
Then there are several possibilities:
Tortuguero National Park (Caribbean coast) – watch for the time, if you go for turtles, they might be not there.
Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. Areas with poor drainages support swamp forests, while other parts – dissected by deep, expansive gorges – have numerous streams tumbling through, creating rapids, waterfalls and standstill pools. It is, however, not merely the forest and landscape that are so diversified.
Santa Elena Reserve. The reserve is covered by a majestic Cloud Forest, in which you can observe a great variety of plants, Orchids, trees, ferns, heliconias and others.
Pacific coast:
Santa Rosa National Park (Pacific coast). LP says it is most valued for historical heritage for locals rather than nature.
Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Bahía Junquillal – small coastal wildlife refuge, turtles pelicans, mangrove (not checked the season for turtles), nice beaches, swim, snorkeling
Salinas bay – CR top for kitesurfing
Golfo del Papagayo – snorkeling and diving, diving station in Playa del Coco
And others – make your suggestions
I will summarize some of the points

Высоко белковый, вкусный и простой в приготовлении омлет с курицей и томатами. Жирность можно снизить, если использовать только один желток или вообще убрать желтки.
Today we had a Taebox Cardio Kickboxing class. Well, what I can say, IFAS picked up really cool instructors. Today we were trained by Carl Emery – the World champion in kickboxing in a super heavyweight (Full Contact Kickboxing (ISKA)). Two-time Champion of Europe, two-time Champion of Switzerland. The founder of 15 clubs in Switzerland and about forty in the world, police instructor.

Прекрасная погода позволяет побегать.
Я все-таки ухитрилась поймать какой-то злостный грипп. Постепенно прихожу в себя после почти 3х недель болезни. Почти 10 км – не плохо для восстановления, пусть даже и медленным темпом.
